- amends ← An amendment to add that no part of any of the funds provided for independent agencies in the bill (Title II) may be used for a multiyear contract or any contract exceeding $1,000,000 unless the appropriate unit submits a report to the appropriations committees of Congress indicating whether competitive bidding and second source contracting were used in awarding the contract.
- amends ← Amendments en bloc making numerous cuts in funding in the bill involving the American Battle Monuments Commission, Civil Cemeterial expenses of the Army, and the Veterans Administration. Under VA cuts are those involving medical care, medical and prosthetic research, administration and miscellaneous operating expenses, general operating expenses, major construction, minor construction, grants for construction of state extended care facilities, state veterans cemeteries grants, Philippines grants, and the loan guaranty revolving fund.
- amends ← An amendment to increase from $516,160,000 to $524,060,000 funds for Veterans Administration major construction projects. The intent of the amendment is to provide funding for a parking facility at the Syracuse, N.Y. V.A. medical center.
